The National Banner.

All hail to our glorious ensign'
courage to the heart, and strength to
the hand, to which, in all time, it shall
be intrusted, May it ever wave in
honor, in unsullied glory, and patriotic
hope, on the dome of the capitol, on
the country's stronghold, on the en-
tented plain, on the wave-rocked top
mast!
Wherever, on the earth's surface,
the eyes of the American shall behold
it, may he have reason to bless it! On
whatsoever spot it is planted, there
may freedom have foothold, human
ity brave champion, and religion an
altar! Though stained with blood in a
righteous cause, may it never in any
cause, be stained with shame
Alike, when its gorgeous folds shall
wanton in lazy holiday-triumphs or
the summer breeze, and its tattereC
fragments be dimly seen through the
clouds of war, may it be the JOY, ant
pride Of the American heart! FRS
raised in the cause Of right and liberty
in that cause alone may it forevel
spread out its streaming blazonry t.
the battle and the storm! Having beer
born VIGOROUSLY across the continen
and on every sea, may virtue and free
dom and peace forever follow where i
leads the wayl

A PARAGRAPH is giving the rounds
OF the press calculated to cast imper-
ishable glory on our new Governor,
Eugene Semple. 1t is to the effect
that his first venture in life was a
failure on which he paid % cents, on
a dollar, and was discharged from
further liability, but that Subsequent
ly he was elected State Printer OF
Oregon and liquidated his indebted
ness in full. And that on another oc-
casion he defended a man accused Of
revolving crime under the belief that
he was innocent, clearing him, but
on an acknowledgment of his client
that the charge was true he kicked
him out of his Office and threw his
fee, about 5000 in gold after him
The only essential wanting to make
these variations seem like romance il
the element of truth. These beins
wanting, the Governor 10 too modes

The intcrposition of Divine Provi-
dence was eminently conspicuous in
the first general Congress. What

biased people,-choscn, Rs public ser

without fear,-what an august assem-
bly, OF s2gesl Rome, III the height of
her glory, fades before it.
There never was, in any age or ma

information, for the ludicious use Of
the result Of civil and political history,
for eloquence and virtue, for true dig
nifty, elevation, and gradeur OF soul,
could stand a comparison with the
first American Congress See what

The president and all the members
OF this august assembly take then
seats. Every cOuntenance tells the
mighty struggle within. Every tongu,

that solemn, awful stiffness, which pre-
cedes the earthquake and tornado! Al

Virginian Demosthenes, the mighty

Every eye fastens upon him. Firm

mighty torrent of his eloquence.
What a picture doe. he draw of the
horrors of servitude and the charmi

reign to all his gigantic powers, ant
pours his own heroic spirit into the
minds OF his auditors; they become
as one man-actuated by one soul
and the universal shout is Liberty o

lustrious man, gave an impulse whicl
probably settled the fate OF America.

Of which Mr.. Wright was the chief
protector, insisted upon al abandon

preparation for their own Use, and it
was this wheel within wheel that
led to the gros. injustice Of a reloca-

its contract with the people. The act
was bad enough, without any attempt

THERE seems to have been an epi-
demic of fire in the East the past few
days. Last Sunday million and a
quarter of dollars went up in smoke
at the Union stock-yards, in Chicago
The fire originated in the Chicago
Packing and Provision Co.'s tank
room. The tanks soon exploded,
scattering burning lard over the ad-
jacent buildings. Seventeen thousand
barrels of pork belonging to Armour
& Co., were destroyed and from 600 to
700 hogs cremated. Twenty-six en-
gines and every reservoir in the yards
were brought into full play, without
much effect on the burning buildings,
saturated as they were with oil. The
fire burned briskly fourteen hours.
